I think I am leaning towards the D40, seems like it is getting better reviews and is more user friendly, specially towards the newer people, plus the battery life. Will the SR make a big difference with the 18-55mm lens kit, or will I not even notice much of a difference? I will probably be using a fast shutter speed most of the time anyways, but if for some reason I do need a slower shutter speed, and don't have a tripod with me, is there a way to work around it without SR? Which ever I go with, I don't really plan on getting any other lens other than the 55-200mm lens, and that will cover probably most of anything I will be doing. Don't really plan on doing much of any wildlife to start with, just mainly landscapes, which probably mainly involves a fast shutter speed I would guess anyways?? So probably SR wouldn't matter to much...then again, I could be wrong... I am basically a total newbie to the DSLR world.
Thanks Guys, you all have been a great help, and I can wait to get my first DSLR camera!!
